The Black Pearl is meticulously designed with an all-tube signal path, component selection and custom transformer that add up to responsive, thick, rich tone. Inside there are beautifully crafted black Military Spec PCBs with robust, precision routed Direct-to-Point Gold-flashed signal traces, neatly dressed wiring and custom tube sockets and retainers; all to ensure that every amp built delivers the Black Pearl's boutique tone yet will withstand the rigors of the road.
They say "Tone is in your fingers," but it’s their tube rectifier design, custom wound transformers and choice of Eminence Alnico speakers that lets your tone come through, from the bell-like chime of single coils to the warm purr of humbuckers.
The Black Pearl 30 is a classic, all-tube, EL 84, Class A design combined with upgrades, enhancements and tone you would expect from Genz Benz. This amplifier is built for those that know tone and feel are inseparable.
This is the Black Pearl 30 at its finest: the 2 x 12 in. model is unmatched in its punch and backbone, not to mention its ability to handle all that the Black Pearl 30 amplifier can deliver.
The 12 in. Alnico’s richness and clarity, along with the open back cabinet design, combine to affirm that this is one inspiring amplifier combo.
